The Prelude I previously owned developed 200 hp at 7,000 rpm out of 2.2
ltrs. You had to run premium in it. The SI developes 197 hp under the new
SAE hp rules which means it likely is comparable to the older Prelude but
with a smaller displacement. Run 87 octane at your own risk. But, I have
to ask why you bought the SI. The EX would have been far more appropriate
if you wanted gas economy on regular gas.

I have a 2006 si, I filled the tank and add gas when I hit a quater mark.
The price for filling up to the full mark is not so bad as filling a near
empty tank. This engine gets good mileage with fast starts and hi revs. The
cost for hi test is worth it for the fun one gets from driving this car.
stay out of food houses and spend the cash on gas.

We still don't know: what does the owner's manual say the fuel
requirements are for this car?

We take delivery tomorrow evening - she is pretty excited!

Based on the feedback, it will be premium all the way!

PS - she liked the seats better than the EX. That and the spoiler! I know, I
know.......
